Our Records

Dundee City Archives holds the records of Dundee City Council and its predecessors, including:

Dundee District Council

Dundee Town Council/Corporation

Tayside Regional Council

We also accept records of businesses, societies and families relating to the City of Dundee as gifts or deposits.

On this page you will find more information about the records we hold. We do not currently have an online catalogue but this is something that we are currently towards and hope to have in the future. If what you are looking for is not listed on one of these pages, please contact us to find out if we hold it.

We hold a variety of books, pamphlets, brochures and other published material relating to Dundee and its history. The items are all listed in our reference collection list. They are sorted alphabetically by topic.

Please note that in some cases published items are held as part of archive collections. In these cases these documents will not be listed in the reference collection. E.g. booklets about the history of a school will be held with the school records if published by the school.
